This Week at Atticus Review

August 13, 2022

A recap of the week's writing at Atticus Review. Intro by Christopher Linforth.

All of us in the literary community hope that Salman Rushdie will survive this recent attempt on his life. Violence against writers and artists should never stand or be condoned. The staff at Atticus Review wish Salman Rushdie a fast recovery.As our hardworking Managing Editor, Keene Short, puts together the final pieces for our special internet-themed issue of Atticus Review (out on Monday!), I'd like to thank the editors and readers for putting together such an interesting collection of work. Now, if you'd like to be published in Atticus, read on. For our third issue of the year, we have an unthemed issue. So please submit away, our staff is awaiting to read your work. In the next couple of weeks, we'll also announce news about our flash fiction contest. So start writing those flashes now! In the meantime, please head on over to the Attic, where Jesi Bender reviews Kevin Sampsell's I Made an Accident. While you're there, you can read the terrific pieces published in our first issue.Until next time, thanks so much for reading. Christopher LinforthEditor-in-Chief 

THIS WEEK AT ATTICUS

BOOK REVIEW

THERE ARE TOO MANY IMAGES IN THE WORLD

a book review by

JESI BENDER

"In Kevin Sampsell’s latest book, images far outnumber its text.  For writers and readers, people rooted in the word, this might be uncomfortable."

NEW FROM THE ATTIC

A RED-HEADED STEPCHILD REFLECTS ON REJECTION

by

Jody Hesler

"Pitching to agents and publishers requires us to distill into a handful of words what has taken us sometimes years to write and hundreds of pages to tell, then nestle these fragile dreams into the hands of strangers, abandon them there, and wait, hopefully, for a response."

ISSUE THREE

For the December 2022 issue, Atticus Review is looking for work for our open-themed issue. We are, however,  especially interested in work that engages with notions and explorations  of language. We are open to any and all interpretations of the prompt.
